What startup script are you using to set KDEHOME? When I was running KDE3.0.3 compiled from source on my Caldera install, I editted the opt/kde3/bin/startkde script, adding export KDEDIR=/opt/kde3 export KDEDIRS=/opt/kde3 export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3 export KDEHOME=~/.kde3 export PATH=/opt/kde3/bin:$PATH and kdehome=~/.kde3 and I *think* it worked, but I rarely booted into kde3 as root...
